The Witcher Season 5 Is Now Confirmed

The third season of Netflix’s The Witcher is on the horizon this summer with Henry Cavill playing Geralt of Rivia for the last time. His replacement for Season 4 is Liam Hemsworth and he is planned to start his work later this year, but now we have a confirmation for our earlier scoop about Season 5 as well.

In a new interview, The Witcher‘s casting director Sophie Holland confirmed that Season 4 is set to start filming soon with Season 5 following after.

“We’re just about to start filming on season four with Liam Hemsworth and there will be a short gap then we go straight into season five.“

If you recall, back in September 2022 we reported that Netflix was planning to film both Season 4 and Season 5 back-to-back. As far as we know, Season 4 is either mostly or entirely written and Season 5 is already outlined.

An earlier report suggests that Season 4 of The Witcher is planned to start filming in September 2023 and wrap in May 2024. It is possible that this is the schedule of both seasons as it spans 9 months, while Season 3 was filmed in just 5. We’ll find out more as time goes on.

The aforementioned interview also teases the Rats in Season 4, whose prequel series is now filming in South Africa with none other than Dolph Lundgren.

“I had a really lovely opportunity recently with a very special — almost standalone — episode of season four of The Witcher, which is exploring a completely new group of people. We found a boy called Connor Crawford and we were able to put him in this group of kids in The Witcher.

The whole group is very exciting in terms of talent: Christelle Elwin, Juliette Alexandra, Ben Radcliffe. You meet the characters in season three and then they come into their own in season four.“

For context, Elwin and Alexandra play Mistle and Reef respectively. Crawford and Radcliffe play Asse and Giselher (or vice versa) as far as we know with Aggy K. Adams and Fabian McCallum portraying Iskra and Kayleigh.

An unexpected character is returning to The Witcher Season 2

Image
It’s been a busy week for Netflix’s The Witcher . We reported about a curious action scene being filmed at Kaer Morhen involving Henry Cavill’s Geralt, Freya Allan’s Ciri along with many new witchers and we followed that up with a report about a number of female characters involved in that storyline as well. Today we have something that surprised us a fair bit. Redanian Intelligence has learned that Danica , played by Imogen Daines , will return to the second season of The Witcher and will appear in one of its first episodes directed by Stephen Surjik. To remind you, Danica is the sex worker who Geralt is with in the beginning of the third episode of the first season and she’s examining the monster slayer’s scars. Imogen Daines as Danica with Henry Cavill as Geralt in The Witcher S01E03 The return of such a minor character is quite unexpected and it’s unclear how Danica would fit in any of the storylines of Season 2. To put the timeline into context, the scene we saw in the ser...

Henry Cavill Injury Doesn't Affect Production

Image
By now you've likely heard that Henry Cavill has injured himself during a shoot for The WItcher. United Kingdom media giant The Sun , reported the news first on Cavill's injury. A source close to the show had this to say regarding the injury, "He just suddenly pulled up and was clearly in a lot of pain. It wasn’t clear if an object had hit his leg or it was some sort of hamstring or muscle injury." This took place while Henry was suspended 20 feet in the air for a major scene. While the title of The Sun's article alludes to the production schedule going into chaos, Deadline.com has now also shared the news but notes that any impact to production is not heavily felt due to the coming holiday shut down. It would seem if Cavill had to sustain any injury, this is a perfect time for the show to absorb it. What do you think of the injury news? Let us know in the comments below or in our forum !

The Witcher Season 3 to enter production in early 2022

Image
Everyone is eagerly waiting for The Witcher Season 2 on December 17, but the work on the next season doesn’t stay still and the scripts are being written as we speak. If you recall, Season 3 of The Witcher will have a number of new writers who started their work this July. We were wondering when filming for the next season would begin and now we have a window. Thanks to the newest listing on Production Weekly, we now know that Season 3 of The Witcher is planned to enter production in the first quarter of 2022 . But bear in mind that production schedules are never solid and are always subject to change, especially in a post-covid world. Nevertheless, at least now we approximately know the production window and when Netflix wants to get things underway. Contact info blacked out for privacy reasons . Also disregard the locations and directors. That is old info. Season 3 will also have a significant change: instead of Arborfield Studios, production will move to Longcross Studios, w...
